Area fisherman who enjoy chasing the wily rainbow trout won't have to travel hundreds of miles to get to them beginning next fall. The Iowa DNR is extending their winter trout stocking program to include West Lake in Davenport beginning with three initial releases of 10 to 12 inch, half pound rainbow trout next October. The season will run from October through March.

Rainbow trout can't survive water temps over 68 degrees, so one hopes they'll grow rapidly as they'll only be able to enjoy one of our wonderful QC winters. (Wonder if lazy trout lovers will run out when the temps get warm and gather up the poor trout that survived the winter but succumbed to the heat.)
